HTTP Developer's Handbook

The definitive guide to the HTTP protocol for serious web application developers.

Where the book really sparkles is in the section on improving performance. Few books have looked at the HTTP protocol's underlying mechanisms for controlling caching as this one. In lucid prose, Shiflett presents the various caching directives and their exact meaning.
